I don't think the cellulose type sponge cloth is the best choice.
These sponges are soft when wet but dry out hard & will not have any spring, also when new they are wet with water & detergent & will probably cause some rust problems.
A better choice might be the thin foam they put under floating floors, a hollow punch or wad punch will make nice neat round holes.
